Schools Within RIDBC
Today there are three specialist schools within RIDBC:
- The RIDBC Alice Betteridge School, for children with sensory and intellectual disabilities (renamed from "The Special School for Multi-handicapped Blind Students" in 1990).
- The RIDBC Garfield Barwick School, for "oral" deaf children who communicate using speech and assisted hearing. Opened in 1988 as a primary school to prepare deaf students for a mainstream high school.
- The RIDBC Thomas Pattison School, which provides education in Auslan, Australia's deaf sign language. Established in 1992 as the "Thomas Pattison Annexe", renamed as a school in 1997.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“In truth, the legitimate contention is, not of one age or school of literary art against another, but of all successive schools alike, against the stupidity which is dead to the substance, and the vulgarity which is dead to form.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
